DH just texted me a conversation he had with DS (4) this morning.
"If Evie (DD- 10 months) eats that cat food, she'll turn into a cat like Hermione. And then we'll have to have another baby AND we'll have two cats!"
My SIL is pregnant and DS was MAD at us this week when we told him we were not going to have another baby. "But Sophie (cousin) is getting another one!"
a couple nights ago Q (2.5) drew all over her wall when she was supposed to be sleeping, then came into my room to get me up and ask me to find the pen she dropped under the bed so she could continue :/
DD is 28 months. Her great grandmother is nearly 90 and staying with MIL who watches DD when we work. When we went to pick her up the other night, great grandmother (MawMaw) told us how DD loves to help her crochet and was so interested in it, blah blah. So, MawMaw asks DD, "What did MawMaw do today?" expecting her to tell us about crocheting. DD looks up at her and says, "MawMaw farted. You farted." The funny thing is that MawMaw can't hear a dump truck drive through a nitroglycerin plant, so she just smiled proudly at us while we stifled laughter and tried to pretend that DD was telling us about crocheting.
The other night after his bath, E was goofing off and ended up in downward dog position, looking back between his legs. Naked. Then he spotted his penis and was grabbing that... while still in downward dog. Then he got so distracted by it that he lost his balance and fell to the side.
He regularly gives kisses to his toys when he's in his car seat. Usually he just has Robot (Angel Dear lovey) back there, but yesterday it was his new school bus toy.
Edit: Just remembered another one. He's officially at the parroting stage. Yesterday I was driving home and another driver totally cut me off, forcing me to slam on my brakes. I yelled, "shit!" without thinking about it, and a second later from the back seat I hear, "shh!" I need to be more careful about what I say...

E does something similar. Well, his is more of a bashful look, then he slowly breaks into a grin. He knows it gets realllly positive attention from people, so he does it all the time.
We've really been emphasizing the importance of hand washing before meals with M (15 months). The other night she wanted to also wash Elmo's hands. My husband told her that you can't wash Elmo's hands because they are furry. You have to vacuum them. M then went and got her play vacuum and started to vacuum my husbands arms.
DD (age 3) and I were just snuggling after her nap, and I said, "I could just eat you up!" and started taking "bites" out of her cheeks. She started screaming and said, "MOM! People don't like that!"
Yesterday we were at a local nature center that does indoor toddler programing all winter. DD and one of her little friends were looking outside when they started yelling at the top of their lungs "COCK, COCK, COCK" and wouldn't stop. There were turkeys outside the window. DD apparently thought they were peacocks, which she can usually say, and her friend was trying to say "cockadoodledoo" but somehow they settled on just saying cock. I think my laughter just encouraged them, because they just got louder.
DD (9 mo old) was feeding me the foods that she doesn't like (carrots, breads), picking them up from her tray and trying to put them into my mouth. But she keeps all the blackberries and blueberries for herself.

DS likes to play a game I call Stunt Man. He waves his hands at his sides like he's trying to keep his balance and says "Whoa-oa-oa!" Then he falls on his butt. It's so funny. Sometimes he pitches forward and does a face plant into the carpet instead.

Our cleaning lady is here right now, and DS is helping her dust. He waggles his butt while wiping and gets all onto it. If he sees a picture of a drum in a book he tries to tap it like an actual drum. His latest diversion tactic during diaper changes is to grab your hand/arm and cuddle it while making little soothing noises.
My almost 4-year old is calling marshmallows "Smarshmallows." It's pretty funny. And this morning he chose a shirt to wear and said, "the girls will like it."
DD isn't super verbal, but when we get in traffic on our drive home, she yells out "GO! GO!" and it totally cracks me up. She's as impatient as her mother.
N likes to put our shoes on. Today, he successfully walked around the living room in a pair of my kitten heels.
He also likes to boss the dog around. If he is barking at us, N will go point at him and say "No No No!" Or, if he's in the kitchen while we're eating, N tells him to "GO".

DD is in a stage where she starts whining for food the instant she sits in her high chair. We have a little patience song that we've sung since she started eating solids, which has normally served to quiet her squealing, at least while we sing it. Lately DD has taken to ducking her head and pressing her fists in front of her face when we sing the patience song, as if she's trying to keep herself from whining.
The other day DD was being suspiciously quiet, and I looked over to see her digging in the couch cushions to get to the cords we have tucked in there (we plug our lamps into the sockets on the floor and hide the cords in the couch. Usually works pretty well.) I walked over to move her away, and as soon as she saw me she dove to the floor and hid behind the ottoman before I even had a chance to say "No".
DD has divided all animals into two groups--doggie and kitty. She's great at recognizing doggies, and everything else is kitty. My mom has a magnet with polar bears on it from our local zoo. DD looked at it and said "ooh, kitty!" My mom said, "No, that's a bear". DD just tilted her head to the side, sighed, amd said, "kitty!"
Dd1 faked enthusiasm for the first time the other day and it almost made dh cry. He'd brought her home the Ariel doll that she'd left at grandmas and told her that he had a "big surprise." He whips it out and she looks at him all quizzically and then says, "is it new?" When she realizes that it's not and that it's the surprise she starts fawning over it for dh's sake going , "ooooooh, it's my Ariel! I love my Ariel!" Coming from a 2.5 hr old it was the saddest and still funniest thing ever.

Oh, I forgot this one:
One of DS' favorite bedtime books is "Five Little Monkeys" (you know, five little monkeys jumping on the bed, one fell off and bumped his head ... )
So, S.O. had to go to the doctor to follow up on his shoulder pain. He had to take DS with him, since I had to work. He picks DS up from daycare and says that they're going to the doctor. DS says back to him, "No more monkeys jumping on the bed."
